Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA)：몰디브 → 영국
Maldivian citizens do not need a Standard Visitor visa for a short UK visit — they apply online for a £20 Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA), decided usually within a day.
Online travel authorisation for visits to the UK of up to 6 months — no visa to obtain for eligible nationalities; apply on the UK ETA app or online.
- 유효 기간
- An ETA lasts for 2 years or until your passport expires, whichever is sooner
- 입국 횟수
- Multiple — you can travel to the UK as many times as you want while you have an ETA
- 1회 최대 체류 기간
- Up to 6 months per visit
준비 시작 시기
출발일 3일–7일 전에 준비를 시작하십시오.
Maldivian passport holders visiting the UK for tourism need an ETA rather than a Standard Visitor visa (gov.uk suggests the visa route instead only if you have a criminal record or were previously refused entry).
Apply with the passport you'll travel with, an email address and a card or mobile payment; the £20 fee is non-refundable.
Decisions usually arrive within a day, but allow up to 3 working days — and do not travel until the confirmation email arrives.
Your ETA is linked electronically to your passport, so you only show your passport at the UK border; the ETA does not guarantee entry.

예약 슬롯 확보 — 일찍 예약하십시오 · 커뮤니티 제보, 2026-06-13 확인
- 예약 슬롯은 정해진 공개 일정 없이 일괄 공개됩니다. 대부분 현지 이른 아침, 월요일 오전, 매월 1일 전후에 공개됩니다.
- 인기 영사관（대도시의 프랑스, 이탈리아, 스페인 등）은 새 슬롯이 몇 분 안에 마감될 수 있습니다. 사전에 등록하고 로그인한 상태로 확인하십시오.
- 취소로 인해 하루 종일 슬롯이 풀릴 수 있으므로 '예약 불가'로 표시되더라도 매일 확인하십시오.
- 따라서 허용되는 가장 이른 시기에 신청하십시오. 출발 최대 6개월 전부터 가능합니다. 1~2개월 전까지 기다리면 슬롯이 전혀 남아 있지 않은 경우가 많습니다.
알아두면 좋은 정보
- An ETA does not guarantee entry to the UK, Jersey, Guernsey or the Isle of Man — border officers make the final decision.
- The ETA is linked to the passport you applied with, so if you renew your passport you need a new ETA.
- The £20 fee cannot be refunded after you apply.
- gov.uk advises applying for a Standard Visitor visa instead if you have a criminal record or you've previously been refused entry into the UK.
